A new church is beginning in Ruston this Sunday, but unlike most church plants this new church already has a long and unique history. On Sept. 18, Crossroads Church and Christ Community Church voted to merge and together start The Bridge Community Church. Last Sunday, both churches held their final worship services in preparation for beginning a new church together.

The Bridge Community Church will hold a public launch service at 10:30 a.m. Sunday in the former Christ Community building at 2301 N. Trenton St. The public is welcomed and invited. Please arrive early because parking will be in short supply.
